Sharp Cuts In 2 Aid Categories Announced By Welfare Officials
Topeka March 4 UPI Sharp cuts in state expenditures for general assistance and aid to dependent children are promised by Kansas welfare officials. A Briles Stafford chairman of the welfare board announced the tightening up policy after meetings with the Kansas County Commissioners association. Briles said the increases in applications for general assistance and aid to dependent children in late 1949 were beyond current economic conditions and would force reductions to prevent red ink. Long said employables on relief likely could have saved while working and warned no aid to employables next winter. Briles aims to cut aid to dependent children and blamed easy divorce for the rise. Expenditures for old age assistance and aid to the blind are about as expected.

Osage County Mines Could Avert Local Coal Shortage
Osage county coal mines dodge the national strike and may ease Lawrence heating trouble with a daily output near 60 tons at the Oxbow Coal company. Scranton Burlingame deep-shaft mines and surrounding open pits supply lump and stoker coal, mostly sold locally with low delivered prices due to truck transport and no nearby railheads. Weather and demand could boost outside inquiries, but current trade remains centered in Kansas towns and nearby states.
